@messiambrandybuck @midearthwritings it’s been a couple years! I’m able to eat without feeling the urge to finish my plate! I just Saran Wrap it and put it in the fridge!!! How are the two of you? Aiden I know you moved out, did that help?

My brain: you have to finish your food!

Me: *beating my brain with a broom* No! I will eat until I am full! And then stop! I can eat the rest later! Don't let your father's crazy southern "you have to finish everything that's on your plate" lectures brainwash you anymore! I get it, you were young and impressionable, but you're nearly an adult and it's time to start acting like it and stop letting your crazy relatives dictate your life, thinking, and emotional/physical health!!!

Hello sweetheart!

Could I please request headcanons for Thorin seeing his hobbit s/o wearing traditional dwarven clothes for the first time? Like in Erebor (everybody lives AU).

If not, it's totally okay :) Thank you!!

-midearthwritings 💛

(This is such a sweet idea. If you would like something more about this idea; maybe a prompt to put forward for a little ficlet or drabble, you know where to find me. Hehe.)

Thorin's initial reaction is pride. Dwarves are always very proud people, especially of their race. And seeing the one he loves clothed in the garb of the Dwarves is just breathtaking for him.

Thorin doesn't realise it initially, but the clothing that has been chosen for his S/O is midnight blue, the same colour that Thorin himself wears.

There is no more a magical sight than this for Thorin. He can't keep his eyes, and hands, off them. The clothing fits them just perfectly, highlighting all of Thorin's favourite parts. Thorin is all smiles, physical touch and whispers when no one else can hear, telling his S/O how stunning they look.

Thorin also asks that a portrait be painted of him and his lover, both wearing their special Dwarves clothing, so he can keep that memory alive forever.

And, of course, there is some magic in the bedroom afterwards. ;)

How many WIPs do you currently have? And how many of them are Fíli WIPs? 👀

-midearthwritings 💛

I have 21 wips at the moment. Not counting the list with 'ideas for wips'. Some of them haven't been open in forever, others get a daily visit. Two of them are in the 'I might be able to post it this month' stage.

And... 13 of them are Fili related 🙈 I usually start my wips with Fili in mind, but sometimes that changes when I'm writing it. Like 'power outage' was supposed to be with Fili but then I felt it would fit Kili better so I altered the plot a little to what it is today.

Thank you for your message 💚

[errruvande]

For the Fanfic Writer Friday : Were you scared to post your first fic? Can you remember how you felt when you got your first comment?

- @midearthwritings

Max, I’m still scared 😂 I think we all get that level of nervousness when we post a fic. It’s a vulnerable feeling to put a piece of yourself out into the world where people can read and judge it and you pray that they like it!

Over-joyed! And I still feel that way with every comment I receive. It’s the best feeling!

Thank you for asking, love!!

[erosofthepen]

70,86 & 97 for the ask!

-midearthwritings 💛

70. Have you ever been scuba diving?

Yes I have, it's very fun, but not my most favorite thing to do. The ocean frightens me.

86. What are you allergic to?

Cats, but it depends. I'm allergic to some but not to others, it's always a fun guessing game.

97. Were your ancestors royalty?

Not that i know, I just know they were a working-class family that immigrated from Sweden and Germany.

[cassiabaggins]

Another headcanon but for Cassia :

Despite looking soft she's a beast at arm wrestling and can literally snap your arm in two if she really wants.

-@midearthwritings

OKAY YES ABSOLUTELY. After the quest she gets STRONK and can ABSOLUTELY wreck your shit and lift her husband bridal style with ease. She's not as strong as a dwardowdam but she's pretty damn close!

[bag-my-oak-hole]

For the ask: 45,64 & 79!

-midearthwritings 💛

45: Name three of my favorite Fanfic writers

Oh gosh that's hard. I do be doing a lot of reading. I gotta say @knife-em0ji with their WONDERFUL zombie!bagginshield au that I eagerly expect the next chapter. Northern Sparrow because I am obsessed with the way they throw all their bird knowledge into a fantastic story.....and probably @perkynurples and I hope they are doing alright because I will never stop thinking about the upcoming reunion in their WWII!Bagginshield story (there are so many but those are just off the top of my head.)

64: Favorite Title for a Fic you've read?

Hm, that's so many to think of. Most of the fics I read have song titles as is customary usually, but I honestly don't think I could give an answer to that.

79: are you an over-writer, under-writer, or just-right-er?

Oh I am an over-writer for sure. I do not know when to shut up. There is so much I always want to put in my fics and half the time I can't justify putting them in there. But I do love them.

[thespiritoflife]

I joined the re - writing challenge from this clever writer - @midearthwritings. First of all, I wish you only the best for the 7month anniversary and a lot of followers! Just keep doing great work! You are really good writer, I wish to be smart as you.

I hope you all will like this story. Please lemme know this! Thanks.

I used this quote: Why is it that you are crying?

Pairing: Fili x reader

Warnings: mention of character's death, angst, grammatical errors

It's just a fiction! It is story out of my mind..

Summary: just read this please, i don't want to reveal anything😌😉

Coronation of golden prince

Thorin was lying on that deathbed, his face was full of pain and pain.

"Fili," he whispered.

Fili ran to him immediately.  His heart broke when he saw his uncle dying.�� Eventually, after all that, a severe illness was killing him.

"You will be a good king. You are ready, I know that," Thorin whispered.

  "Thorin ... you were the best king Erebor could wish for."

Thorin smiled through his tears.  "Watch over Kili. He won't endure my death well."

Fili nodded.

Kili has been with his wife Tauriel.  As soon as he learned that his uncle was suffering from a terrible illness, he responded.  He wanted to go to Erebor, but he didn't make it. He was late.

"He'll blame himself. That he wasn't here. Don't let him. He has to take care of his pregnant wife."

"Of course. I will do as you say, my king."  Fili was already crying openly.

"And, marry her. Y / N. She'll be a great queen. That's my last wish."  he muttered, closing his eyes for the last time.

Fili cried.

It was a grand funeral.  The great king died.

Y / N stood in the meadow, wearing a black veil that covered her gentle face.  She was worried about Fili.  The future king did not look good. 

His brother stood by his side.  He looked like he had just come out of the grave.

A few weeks after the funeral, she went to see Fili.  Fili sat alone in the throne room, stroking the arcikam Thorin had once given him.

"Fili .. If you need anything, don't be afraid to contact me,"  she said softly, touching his shoulder.

Fili didn't even turn his face, he just whispered.  "Y / N .. thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for us, for Erebor. Thorin loved you."

Y / N frowned.  She was confused. Why did he talk about her?

"That's a small thing. Are you sure you don't need anything?"

Fili was silent and then finally turned.  He looked sad. 

"I just ... will I be a good king?"

She smiled.  "Are you asking me? Of course, you will be a good king. Not a good king, a great king. They will write about you in history books and your name will be in legends. Like Thorin's. Trust me, I can feel these things."

"Sweet Y / N .." he muttered.

Y / N continued carefully.  "And you're going to have a lot of kids. You just have to find the right woman. It's not going to be hard, a lot of them are interested in you and you're in them."  she said cheerfully.

Fili finally turned.  "And incomprehensible Y / N."

She looked puzzled.  "What?"

Fili jumped to his feet and changed the subject.  "I want you at my coronation tomorrow."

Why does he want me there? 

She was thinking when she was in her room for a long time.

Fili.  Her beloved Fili.  She loved him.  Of course, she loved him.  She loved him from the beginning.  But he didn't know it.  And he certainly didn't love her.  She was always a close friend to him.

  She folded her veil neatly on the bed. This will end once.  Their friendship.  Fili will become king, he will marry and ..

She didn't want to think any further.

The next day she began to prepare for the coronation.  She will leave after it.  She wrote to Fili a letter and ... she just will go away.  She can't stay here.  It would break her heart if ... she saw how the love of her life finally got married.

She was sitting in that beautiful hall, she had a beautiful dress, she looked beautiful, except that she didn't feel beautiful.

For a moment a beautiful song sounded and Fili entered the hall.  He looked beautiful.  He was wearing a red cloak and looked ... royal.  The crown was missing.

Y / N sighed in amazement.  And she wasn't the only one.  She noticed the other Dwarven ladies looking at him in love.

Fili was walking and walking.  He wasn't looking around.  He finally found himself under the throne.

He looked at the portrait of Thorin, the portrait was over the throne.

Thorin would be proud of you.

Y / N thought.

The music stopped playing and Fili dropped to his knees.  This was followed by a long ceremony during which Fili gave up all sorts of promises.  And finally, finally, as he turned, with the crown on his head, everyone knelt before their new king.

Y / N also knelt.

There were tears in her eyes.  Fili will be a great king, she thought, bowing her head.

There was a song again, this time the citizens of Erebor sang to their new king.

I don't need to be here anymore. 

She thought and began to disappear unobtrusively from the crowd.

Suddenly Fili spoke.  "I, as your new king, tell you that I am going to get married."

 Y / N couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.

Tears began to stream down her cheeks.  She was in her room.  Eventually, she failed to go away and she cried hard in the pillow.  She'll just cry for a moment and will walk away then.  Just a moment.

How it hurts.  Broken heart.  Unrequited love.

She will leave.  She has to leave.  It won't last anymore.  She can't stand looking at his new wife.

The door opened.  Y / N got up immediately.

It was an unexpected guest.  King Fili himself stood in her room.

She wanted to kneel immediately, but Fili wouldn't let her.

"I'm sorry .. I just .."

It was an embarrassing situation.  If only he hadn't found her in this situation!

He looked her in the eye.

"Why is it that you are crying?"  he asked her.

Y / N was surprised by his question.  "From happiness, my king."  she deceived.

Fili looked disappointed.  "Don't call me my king, please. I'm still just your friend."

Y / N smiled through her tears.  "Shouldn't you still be at the coronation? Or at the celebration?"

Fili shook his head.  "Mahal, take that damn celebration. I prefer you."

Y / N didn't understand and sat on the bed.  He did this too.

Fili looked sad.  "What happened to you, my dearest? I know you're not crying out of happiness."

Y / N's tears came to her eyes again.  "I just ... is it important?"

"Is,"  he said firmly.  She hadn't heard him speak in that tone yet.  It sounded royal.

"I heard you say you're getting married. So I wish you good luck with your new wife. I love you, Fili, but I can't stand this anymore. I'm leaving this palace. You'll be a great king."

So it was outside.

Fili stared at her blankly, then laughed. 

Y / N was offended.  "What? Why are you laughing?"

"You're misunderstood, Y / N, sweetheart. I'm not interested in other women. I'm interested in you. I wanted to marry you."

Y / N felt like she was dreaming.  "What? Me? Are you sure?"

"I guess I'll have to show you."

Fili leaned over and took her chin with his index finger.

She didn't fight back.

He hugged her and began kissing her gently.  At first, she did not return his kisses, but then yes. She didn't want to believe she was kissing him.

As they kissed, stroked, and hugged, someone entered the room.

"Fili! People are asking for you! Where the hell have you been for so long?"  Kili stopped to talk because he caught them in the act.

Fili and Y / N pushed away, both swollen lips, but big hearts in their eyes.

Kili grinned.  "You know what, we pretend I didn't come in. Continue," he wanted to return but changed his mind.  "By the way, you're finally together! I am happy for you, guys!"

"Kili!"  finally Fili called and Y / N just blushed.

However, Kili quickly disappeared.

Fili and Y / N looked at each other and laughed.

"I adore your brother,"  said Y / N, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I'm glad he finally came back to himself. Thorin's death destroyed him a lot ..." Fili thought.

She stroked his hair.  "I know. It destroyed you a lot too. But Thorin is proud of you both."

Fili looked at her and kissed her palm.  "He would be more proud if ..."

He knelt and Y / N' tears appeared in her eyes again.

"Y / N, will you marry me, please? I need the woman I love and a great queen by my side. I just need you. I love you, never forget that. I'll try to be a good husband for you ... so, will you please marry me? "

"Of course!!"  she screamed and threw herself around his neck.

Fili hugged her again and put a beautiful ring on her finger.

"Oh Fili ... I love you so much,"  she said.

She still didn't want to believe that Fili, King of Erebor, loved her.

The next day there was a coronation.  They crowned Y / N, the queen of Erebor, who had long been talked about.  There was a wedding after it.

And Thorin was smiling at them.

@sotwk Thank you so much for mentioning me, you're too kind! 🥰🥰🥰

I remember that @midearthwritings and @vee-vee-writes wrote Dwalin stories too if it helps :)

Do you know anyone who writes for dwalin? I can't seem to find many dwalin writers

P.s I am so much loving your fili fic 😍

Hello Anon,

I am honored you came to me for recommendations and am thrilled to direct your attention to my favorite Dwalin multi-chapter work by @lathalea: Dwalin Has A Bad Day (5 chapters long so far). She's a very popular writer in The Hobbit fandom, so I just don't know if you've found this fic already. It's amaaaaazing!

The only other writer friend I have who does Dwalin fics (that I am sure of) is the very talented @middleearthpixie! Please check out the Dwalin section of her Masterlist here: LINK.

If you need more recs than this, please just say so and I'm sure I can help hunt down more! I know people who surely know people.

(Friends reading this, please recommend any Dwalin fics or writers you might know!)

P.S. Thank you for your kind words on my Fili fic--I'm glad you're enjoying it! New chapters should come soon, but in the meantime, please also stay tuned for more Fili x Reader one-shots that I have in the works!

Leaving (Haldir x Gender!Neutral Reader)

Word count: 989

A/N This is for MidEarthwritings writing challenge! Ok this is a lot shorter than I was expecting, but I think I did alright. Enjoy!

Prompts -

Having a disagreement

“Why? You would not know”

“If anything happened to you, I would never forgive myself”

We had gone over this conflict for so long. And this was only the beginning. I sighed, picking up my stuff. “Haldir, this is something I want to be a part of. I need to be a part of. Can you understand that?”

Haldir frowned, looking down at me. “Of course I can understand that, but that doesn’t mean I want you to be a part of this. There will be many more battles to be fought. But I can’t have you involved in this one.” His voice lowered, and I could tell he was trying to figure out what to say. “Meleth nin, I never want you to be hurt. I never want to see you in the midst of battle. It would be too hard. You must understand,” He pleaded, but I turned away. 

I was caught between despair and anger. Tears welled in my eyes, begging to be let go.  I thought he knew I could handle myself. But maybe he didn’t think I could. Maybe he didn’t trust my abilities. After all, he refused to train me, claiming he would never let harm get to me. But here we are, the forest itself threatened by the growing dark. He shouldn’t have underestimated me. “Maybe you’re right, I shouldn’t go. But I will anyway. I will find a way, even if you won’t let me,” I spat out angrily.

Haldir turned me back around, holding my shoulders in place. The light flickered, sending shadows across his face. It was eerie, and it made him look more menacing than I had expected. Sure, I knew he was a brilliant fighter, cutthroat. But never to me. This was a side of him I had never seen before. His eyes darkened, and I felt my heart racing. Whether it was because of the touch of his skin on mine, or the look on his face, I could not tell. “You will do no such thing,” he spoke in a scarily calm manner. 

I shrunk down. “But, I can. I can do this. Do you not believe in me? Why aren’t you letting me?” I said, making my face colder. If we were going to play this game, I would do my damn best. 

Haldir shook his head and began pacing the room. “Why? You would not know. You have never been in the heat of a battle, making life or death decisions in the spur of the moment. You have never been injured in such a way, never faced evil in this way. I don’t care if it’s a small skirmish, I love you too much to let anything happen to you. If anything happened to you, I would never forgive myself.” He stopped, right in front of me, and grasped my hands. I looked into his eyes, and I saw something I had never seen before. He was scared. He was frightened of losing me. And even if it was something I wanted, he was too scared to let me go.

I was still mad, but I understand how he felt. I slowly pulled my hands out of his grasp and turned away. I packed up the clothes he would need while he stood there, frozen. A million emotions ran through my head, each one more overwhelming than the rest. I know how he felt. I felt it every time he left me. Every time he went to fight a war he could not stop. The fear, the waiting, the longing. It seemed unfair that I had to go through that every time he left, but he wouldn’t let me help.

Numbly, I handed the bag to Haldir, and he grabbed it, softly touching my hand. He leaned in, softly brushing my lips. I didn’t respond, and he pulled away, looking into my eyes. He was hurting, but I was hurting more. He pulled me into a hug, giving a defeated sigh. 

“I’m sorry meleth nin,” He murmured, pressing kisses into my hair. I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth he gave me. I don’t know how long we stood there for. I began to hear rain patter against the roof, the sound beckoning him to leave. He gave me one last kiss, softly brushing my lips, and walked out the door. I closed it behind him, and sank down to my feet, finally letting the tears flow. My emotions swirled everywhere, sobs wracking my body. The tears that flowed were warm, salty, reminding me every second of my love. My love that had just left me. Even if it was to save me, to protect me, he left. I did not know if he was to come back. If he was to ever caress my cheek, to sink into my arms, to cherish me ever again. It was always in the back of my mind when he left, but never like this. This felt more real, darker, perilous. 

I willed myself to move, to get up, to move along with my day, but I couldn’t. Not like before. This time was different. Something was different. Wrong. I opened the door, rain pelting my face. It cooled the anger, the betrayal I felt. I walked out onto the walkway, and up more stairs until I reached our perch. We always came up here, at the top of the trees. We could see much more of Lorien, and it was beautiful. The rain soaked my clothes, yet I felt nothing. I could never feel anything when he was gone. He always took a part of me with him, and he never knew. Never knew the pain he caused when he left. I sat there for a while, letting the rain clear my mind. I laid back, closing my eyes. I let all the emotions I felt slowly leave me until I felt only the hollowness of being alone. And that’s how it was for me. I was all alone.

Hello friend! I have a question about Tullaina!

So, she and Fíli are courting, right? How does she feel about being in courtship with the future King? And about the fact that she will probably be the Queen one day?

Lots of love ❤️

-@midearthwritings

Thank you Max 💚 This is a very fun question and be ready for a very elaborate answer 😁

This is a sensitive subject and partially one of the reasons why they took so long to get together once they reclaimed Erebor (the biggest reason being the fact they're both oblivious idiots of course).

Before the quest and Erebor, Tullaina knew of course that they were princes and royalty, but it didn't mean that much in Ered Luin. It was just a title, nothing more nothing less. She didn't think much of it and didn't treat them differently. Fíli got his ass kicked if needed, prince or not.

But the closer they got to Erebor, the more real it started to get. In Laketown she finally realised that by reclaiming Erebor, she could easily lose her two friends and found family. Thorin would be King, Fíli the Heir and Crown Prince and even Kíli, her best friend, would be Prince of Erebor and entirely out of her reach. Because Tullaina wasn't royalty.

She never thought about her becoming Queen, simply because she never thought she would be part of it in the first place.

When they reclaimed Erebor she kept her distance at first, even tried to return to Laketown and Dale because she felt like she didn't belong. Of course Fíli and Kíli (and Thorin too, he's been like a father to her for so long) went out to get her as soon as they found out, making it very clear that she is part of the family, royal blood or not.

But she kept herself in the background, never one to like crowds or the attention.

When she does eventually start courting Fíli, this is the part she dreads the most. She'll become Queen of Erebor one day and she is not ready for that. But I don't have to tell you that she will be one hell of a Queen one day, very kind and loving and close to her people. A natural.

Hellooooo it's been a long time since I came into your ask box!

So, I saw someone asking this to you, I think it was @cassiabaggins ? I can't remember.

So, let's say that Prim actually lives in Middle Earth. Since she is with Fíli, she would obviously have to interact with Naya and Ofelia (my OCs). Does she get along with them? And what does she think of them?

Lots of love my friend 💕 -@midearthwritings

*rolls up sleeves* okay...

This is a big ask.

I am LOVING you and @cassiabaggins asking me questions about Prim in Middle Earth, it’s honestly something I’ve never really thought of until these asks and I love the character development!

Right off the bat- Prim and Ofelia would not get along. Bless sweet Oflelia, but Prim just can’t handle her crying. Prim is simply not very sensitive, and unfortunately would unintentionally offend her a couple of times. Eventually she would learn to be patient with her (which is a good lesson for impatient Prim) as they would be sister-in-laws one day. For the sake of the family, Prim would swallow her opinions and become understanding to Ofelia, resulting in a good relationship down the road. The truth is, they are very similar (aside from the tears). Prim is equally as hot-blooded and impetuous as Ofelia which is where the frustration lies. But again, over time, they would likely grow a strong bond.

I think her and Naya would get on pretty well. Naya seems to be as strong-willed as Prim and also not afraid to speak her mind, all while displaying a not-so-subtle eye-roll and quick to talk back to the Durin men. Prim would look up to Naya and seek her guidance and wisdom for many things. And she loves her baking.

This was tricky to answer, but I loved the challenge! We both have created very strong-minded women that I think Thorin, Fili and Kili are all secretly terrified of! Thank you so much for asking @midearthwritings ! You’re the best!
